I have 2000 notes in Evernote, but I've just left them there and mostly ignored them. It would take tens of hours to review them all. The whiteboard is just for thinking about new ideas. When I'm done, I clear it. To be even more explicit:
1. Whiteboard is empty
2. I write for 20 minutes
3. I review to see what's worth saving, and try to compress it into just 4-5 words.
4. Save 4-5 words in a personal list (I have another custom-made app for this.)
5. Delete all the text on the whiteboard (CTRL + A then backspace)
(then repeat)
After my note is written, help me compress it to the 4-5 word title, set categories, save and store, and I would definitely pay $5 a month for it.
The best part for me is the prompts. A special new "prompt of the week" would be very cool.
That app is my next priority, and it should be released in a day or two. I'm pretty excited about it, actually. It's a list that can have 100 items max, so you never get overwhelmed by the things you save. I've added way too much to every other app I've used (Gtasks, Trello, Workflowy, Asana), so this one is designed to make that impossible.
I hadn't thought to include some direction on how to compress notes, but that's the hard part! Thanks for pointing it out.
I'm glad you like the prompts. I could totally do a special prompt of the week! Cool idea.
Overall- very cool concept. Realized this while using it- I have a forcing function of taking only the useful parts of my thoughts forward. That is handy for someone like me that has brain-spills all the time :)
